Former chairperson of the Fishermen Cooperative Society Dr Nisar Ahmed Morai has been declared ‘Black’ in a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report over his criminal history.

Dr Morai was arrested in 2016 after which a JIT was formed. During interrogation, he revealed various criminal activities which he carried out through his political influence. "It has been found that the accused had established and maintained a very strong link with few political figures and has accepted his involvement in financial corruption,” JIT report said.

Morai disclosed that former home minister Dr Zulfikar Mirza had provided financial support, arms and ammunition to the Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi 'to strengthen them to resist the Muttahida Qaumi Movement'.

He also admitted gifting weapons to Mirza who also gifted him highly valued weapons. He also revealed that Mirza told him of his involvement in drugs smuggling across the Chachro border in 1982-83.

Morai also named Sultan Qamar Siddiqui as one of those who supplied him weapons. He confessed to having contacts with gangster Uzair Baloch, adding that he met Baloch three times on the direction of Mirza.

The accused was also found involved in the murder case of Sajjad Hussain in which he was already a proclaimed offender, the JIT said.

Declaring him as ‘black’, JIT recommended to the police authorities, Anti-Corruption Establishment and National Accountability Bureau to initiate investigations against him over his alleged criminal and financial activities.
